Ideas For A Happy Weekend

At the beginning of this week, I brought a few interiors magazine back home from Sweden and blogged about them here. One of the trending decoration topics I've spotted were kilims. As rugs or as cushions - they seem to be everywhere these days. Since I have a soft spot for ethnic inspired knick-knack I am a serious 'victim' of the kilim obsession. So this weekend I will have a look around and try to find a few nice kilim pillows for my sofa or bed. Do you have kilim cushions? Do you know good sources? No matter what you're up to this weekend, have a happy one, friends!

You can always go back to the roots and get someone (me?) to send you a traditional Serbian ćilim. https://www.google.com/search?q=pirotski+%C4%87ilim&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=v4h4T8a7C8_itQba682-BA&ved=0CCoQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=632 I'm not really sure you can get the pattern on a cushion, but these rugs are divine!

They can generally be pretty expensive if they are original and hand-made. The most precious ones come from the Pirot area. I can ask around and see if I can get you a good deal. Many people sell them.
